I remember seeing a full-performance landing (albeit without payload) that couldn't have been more than a 800' foot rollout. Incredibly short for an aircraft of that size! Overseas, I once watched a Dash 7 crew fly a take-off with an oversized payload. It was a much longer takeoff from what I had been expecting & I later asked the pilot how much of a payload they had on-board. He laughed and said they calculated that they took off more than 10,000 lbs overgross, and that the stall warning sounded for a long time after they were in the air???
...but seems to me that it must be an expensive aircraft to operate, with about 4 of everything instead of 2.
